When I see your saddened eyes
it hurts me deep inside, but I try to hide it.
I think you want me to.
Perhaps it hurts you too..

But I don't think you know
just how far I would go to see you smiling.
I'd burn the world for you
if you asked me to.

-

I know that for you life's been hard.
You’re pushing through,
but you need a helping hand sometimes.

When I know you're down I want to
turn it around
and lift those weights right off your mind, and

- -

so, when you fall, I will catch you.
You won't come to harm
when you're in my arms,

and when you call, I will come to you.
See you through the storm,
keep you safe and warm.

- -

I've always tried to show you
that you're so much better than you think you are,
that he's no good for you.
But you don't want me to.

I know that I can keep you happy,
treat you better than he ever could.
You're everything to me.
If you could only see.

-

You've been the truest friend
but how could I pretend
that I don't want any more than that?

So I offered you my heart
But it tore me apart
when you just smiled at me and handed it back, and

- -

so, as my light fades to darkness.
You don't see me.
You don't see me,

and, as my voice fades to silence.
You don't hear me...

You don't hear me anymore
